Same could be said about quite a few sprinters. I'm curious to see how he progresses in this Giro. I'd hope to see Girmay continuously improve his positioning. It's why I'm a fan of Ewan, Sagan - they've had great wins from simply picking the right wheels to follow - plus that intuitive positioning.

I've said before MvdP seems to rely on brutal power over intuitiveness. Oof today he burns the whole team just to get 78th or something? That's awful.

Gaviria -- soon! Soon.

Reminder of the sportsmanship award to Bardet as he assists with Dainese leadout.

I've got Caleb Ewan for stage 6 tomorrow -- plenty of time to change that rear tire before the finish
